Forest Service 

Plumas National Forest; Plumas 

County, CA; Empire Vegetation 

Management Project 

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare a 

supplement to the environmental 

impact statement. 

SUMMARY: The Forest Service will 

prepare a supplement to the Empire 

Vegetation Management Project Final 

Environmental Impact Statement. This 

supplement will replace the 2006 

supplement. This supplement will 

clarify Management Indicator Species 

and soil and watershed effects. In 

addition, the supplement will take into 

account field data and information 

gathered since 2005. It will also 

incorporate information presented in 

the 2006 supplement and the 2005 Final 

Environmental Impact Statement. 

DATES: Scoping is not required for 

supplements to environmental impact 

statements (40 CFR 1502.9(c)4(4)). The 

draft supplemental environmental 

impact statement is expected to be 

issued in February 2007 and the final 

supplemental environmental impact 

statement is expected in May 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Plumas National Forest, 159

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gary 

Rotta, Interdisciplinary Team Leader, 

Mt. Hough Ranger District 39696 

Highway 70, Quincy, CA 95971 (530) 

283–7687. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The first 

notice of intent for this project was 

published in the Federal Register on 

February 9, 2005. The Notice of 

Availability for the Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement was published on 

May 20, 2005. A Final Environmental 

Impact Statement (2005 FEIS) and 

Record of Decision were issued on 

August 9, 2005. The decision was 

appealed and later reversed on 

November 18, 2005. 

At the request of the Forest 

Supervisor, the Federal Register 

published a Notice of Intent on 

December 28, 2005 to prepare a 

supplement to the Final Environmental 

Impact Statement. The Federal Register 

published a Notice of Availability of a 

Draft Supplemental Environmental 

Impact Statement on February 24, 2006. 

A Final Supplemental Environmental 

Impact Statement and Record of 

Decision were issued in August 2006. 

The project was appealed again and the 

Forest Supervisor withdrew his August 

2006 Record of Decision. 

Purpose and Need for Action 

The purpose and need remain the 

same as was described in the 2005 FEIS. 

The purpose of and need for the project 

has three elements: (1) To implement 

fuel reduction in the Wildland Urban 

Interface (WUI) and, as part of the larger 

HFQLG fuel treatment strategic network 

as called for by the HFQLG Act (Section 

401[b][1] and [d][1] and HFQLG 

amendment to the LRMP, to reduce the 

potential size and intensity of wildfires 

and provide fire suppression personnel 

safe locations for taking action against 

wildfires; (2) to implement group 

selection and individual tree selection, 

as directed in the HFQLG Act (Section 

401[b][1] and [d][2]) and the HFQLG 

amendment to the LRMP, to test the 

effectiveness of an uneven-aged 

silvicultural system in achieving an allaged, multistory, fire resilient forest, 

providing an adequate timber supply 

that contributes to the economic 

stability of rural communities, and 

improving and maintaining ecological 

health of the forest; and (3) to reduce 

impacts of the transportation system on 

forest resources and provide the 

necessary access for the fuel treatments 

and the group and individual tree 

selection harvests. 

Proposed Action 

The proposed action will remain the 

same as described in the 2005 FEIS. 

Possible Alternatives 

Alternatives include varied levels of 

fuel treatments, group selection timber 

harvest, individual tree selection 

harvest and transportation system 

improvement. 

Responsible Official 

Jim Pen ̃ a, Forest Supervisor, Plumas 

National Forest, PO Box 11500, Quincy, 

CA 95971. 

Nature of Decision To Be Made 

The responsible official will decide 

whether to implement the proposed 

action, an alternative to the proposed 

action, or not to implement the project 

at this time. 

Early Notice of Importance of Public 

Participation in Subsequent 

Environmental Review: A draft 

supplemental environmental impact 

statement will be prepared for comment. 

The comment period on the draft 

supplemental environmental impact 

statement will be 45 days from the date 

the Environmental Protection Agency 

publishes the notice of availability in 

the Federal Register. 

The Forest Service believes, at this 

early stage, it is important to give 

reviewers notice of several court rulings 

related to public participation in the 

environmental review process. 

First, reviewers of draft supplemental 

environmental impact statements must 

structure their participation in the 

environmental review of the proposal so 

that it is meaningful and alerts an 

agency to the reviewer’s position and 

contentions. Vermont Yankee Nuclear 

Power Corp. v. NRDC, 435 U.S. 519, 553 

(1978). Also, environmental objections 

that could be raised at the draft 

supplemental environmental impact 

statement stage but that are not raised 

until after completion of the final 

supplemental environmental impact 

statement may be waived or dismissed 

by the courts. City of Angoon v. Hodel, 

803 F.2d 1016, 1022 (9th Cir. 1986) and 

Wisconsin Heritages, Inc. v. Harris, 490 

F. Supp. 1334, 1338 (E.D. Wis. 1980). 

Because of these court rulings, it is very 

important that those interested in this 

proposed action participate by the close 

of the 45-day comment period so that 

substantive comments and objections 

are made available to the Forest Service 

at a time when it can meaningfully 

consider them and respond to them in 

the final supplemental environmental 

impact statement. 

To assist the Forest Service in 

identifying and considering issues and 

concerns on the proposed action, 

comments on the draft supplemental 

environmental impact statement should 

be as specific as possible. It is also 

helpful if comments refer to specific 

pages of the draft supplement. 

Comments may also address the 

adequacy of the draft supplemental 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
5000 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 22 / Friday, February 2, 2007 / Notices 

environmental impact statement or the 

merits of the alternatives formulated 

and discussed in the statement. 

Reviewers may wish to refer to the 

Council on Environmental Quality 

Regulations for implementing the 

procedural provisions of the National 

Environmental Policy Act at 40 CFR 

1503.3 in addressing these points. 

Comments received, including the 

names and addresses of those who 

comment, will be considered part of the 

public record on this proposal and will 

be available for public inspection.
